Re: Lovers of Interpol Convene

Yes, Friday in Seattle was excellent. Great setlist, great energy, and I didn't even miss Carlos...much. I will say that their new material is not that great in a live setting. Does anyone else feel like the new stuff goes nowhere? I feel like there's a climax coming and it never does. That. is. frustrating.

Excited to see them on the fields, though! Their music is truly gorgeous and I will never stop loving them, especially if they keep their setlist first 4 albums-heavy.

My 6th time seeing them, by the way. Forgot to mention how thin and haggard my sweet Daniel looked. What happened?!

Re: Lovers of Interpol Convene

having seen interpol for the first time in 6 years last night, they are still pretty damn good. of the new stuff I really dug Safe Without, though the rest was a bit forgettable. I was pleased to hear a lot I recognized, though, overall they have held up well.

I must voice a complaint about the new bass player though. he should not be playing with them. I barely even recognized Not Even Jail.

encore opener for the win.. although lighthouse opening the encore is pretty damn awesome. But wow that setlist is great, i think that may be my favorite set list i've seen from them. I'm not going to the san diego show tomorrow (as of tonight) if i keep thinking about that setlist tomorrow though I may just end up there.

Re: Lovers of Interpol Convene

Very disappointed in the performance that aired on Carson Daly last night. That bass lick in Evil was probably my favorite thing that Carlos D ever did, it had his personal touch written all over it. Pajo sounds nothing like him when he plays it, it just had this going through the motions feeling to it. Completely void of any kind of personality or authenticity. Too bad.
